My database is just a simple set of item names with properties and I want to make a search program it run thru it. I'm using C# to develop the software and I assume I sould learn Microsoft SQL server 2000 to complete the task. Could u help me with some guidlines or steps to follow?

I used sql server full-text for a web site search that I built. It was pretty easy to set up... I think that you need to be on enterprise version of sql2K (supported on win2K and 2003, but not on xp pro for some reason). the sql server help on full-text indexing and searches is pretty good. I used the CONTAINS keyword for my stored procedure, to which I passed the user input. I did have some trouble with ignored words - you see, sql server ignores things like a, an, at - the users were entering stuff like this and I had to trap an error the popped up if they only put in ignored words. You can also create an agent job to rebuilt your f/t indexes at whatever frequency is appropriate

Let me know if you need more detail
